This gives very little time for Friends of Kensal Rise Library or any other community interest group to make up their minds and enter a bid. As there is supposed to be a six week initial moratorium before sale to allow an organisation to signal their intention to bid for an Asset of Community Value the question arises as to when Brent Council were first informed by Gillick of his intention to sell.
Once the intention is submitted there is a six month period, starting from when the Council was notified by Gillick, during which the community bidder has to find the money and a mortgage to make a bid.
It's a tough ask but campaigners have proved tough during this battle.
